I'M BACK!! AND ON SPRING BREAK!! Love it, love you all :) -CoUrTnEy :D
P.S. PLEASE review!! It'd mean so freaking much to me!! 3
Gabriella sat, cuddled into Troy's chest, on the couch.
"Dinner was great baby. I've missed you so much…" Troy mumbled into her hair.
Gabriella smiled as she felt Troy's lips moving against her scalp. "I've missed you, too, Wildcat." She turned her head to look him in the face. "I love you."
"I love you, too," he said feebly as he leaned down to kiss her gently, but passionately.
A few seconds later, Sharpay slams the front door. "God, I HATE it when he does this. He's always so…oh... Troy, you're here!" she stops ranting as she walks into the room.
Gabriella unhappily pulled away from Troy's lips, Troy groaning in complaint. Gabriella sweetly giggled and leaned her head back on his chest. "Hey Shar…" Gabriella said from Troy's chest.
Sharpay smiled sweetly and sat in the armchair next to the couch. "Soo, how was your date?" she asked.
"Great," Troy answered.
"That's it? Just great?" she pushed.
"Amazing, perfect…" Gabriella continued, staring at Troy.
"Ugh. You guys are absolutely no fun!" Sharpay whined. "I'm going to go call Zeke…"
"Tell him I say hi!" Gabriella called as Sharpay left. "So, what do you want to do?" Gabriella asked.
"Movie?" Troy asked.
"Sounds good? Which movie?" Gabriella started to get up.
"No, no, no. I mean, let's GO to a movie…" Troy corrected himself. Gabriella giggled lightly as Troy tickled her side with his fingertips.
"Okay…just let me just change really quick. I don't want to go to a movie in this dress thing." Gabriella kissed his lips quickly and stood up.
"Quick," Troy confirmed as she left the room.
A few minutes later, both Sharpay and Gabriella walked in. "Okay Troysie, let's go!" Gabriella said.
Troy stood up and walked to her. "Troysie? I'm not sure how I feel about that one…"
Gabriella giggled as she pulled her jacket out of Sharpay's front closet. "Come on…"
"Have fun! Don't do anything dumb!" Sharpay called as the exited the expensive house.
Gabriella rolled her eyes as she stepped into Troy sleek car. Troy got in the car right after her, starting it. Gabriella, while they were driving, picked up her phone. She looked and saw she had a voicemail.
"Can you turn that down? I have to listen to this message…" Gabriella asked Troy, pushing the phone to play the message. Troy turned down the music he had playing and Gabriella put the phone to her ear.
"Mija, its Mom. Um… I can't say I'm completely happy with what I did, but it does not me you do not have to respect that decision, because you do. As your mother, I have the authority to tell you what you can and cannot do, and I expect you to respect that! Until you have learned that I don't want you seeing that boy you are banned from this house. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you this in person, but you didn't answer your phone, and it's your problem." The message cut off.
Gabriella's face went white, and she became as quiet as a mouse. She looked kind off clammy and shivered a little.
"Brie are you alright? You're shivering!" Troy exclaimed. Unless she was getting sick, she shouldn't be cold in the middle of the summer. The air conditioning wasn't even on.
"Fine," Gabriella barely whispered.
"Gabriella. Don't lie to me, what's going on?"
"Nothing Troy… Can we just go to the movie please?" Gabriella begged. She needed a distraction, and she needed one badly.
Troy put it off, just trying to be a good boyfriend, but he made a note to bring it up later. A few minutes later, after pulling into the movie parking lot and buying snacks, Troy and Gabriella were sitting in the middle section of the theater, Gabriella under Troy's arm. Gabriella continuously wiped the slow tears that ran down her face. Troy put his head to her hair and heard her sniffle. He sat up rigidly in his seat and looked down at Gabriella. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked sweetly.
"Can we go…?" Gabriella whispered. "Please," she pleaded.
Troy swiftly took her head and took her out of the theater. "Gabriella will you PLEASE tell me what the hell is going on? I don't like seeing you like this!" Troy looked both annoyed, concerned and everything in between.
"My m-mom says I c-can't come h-home unless I o-obey her and d-don't see you anym-more…" Gabriella sobbed. "I c-can't do this T-Troy… Not a-again," she added.
Troy sighed. He'd had enough of Mrs. Montez. Not only was she trying to break Troy and Gabriella up again, but she had made Gabriella miserable. This was the last straw. "Come on, let's go," Troy took her hand and led her to the car. Troy got in the car and drove to the Montez's.
"Troy, what are you doing? We can't be here!" Gabriella started.
"Shhh. I'll only be a second…" Troy leaned over and kissed her. "Stay here…okay? Just think about how much I love you." Troy got out of the car and rang the doorbell.
The door opened up to Mrs. Montez. "Oh, hello Troy!" she said coyly.
"Mrs. Montez, you can drop the act. I understand how much you hate me, but I don't understand why you tortured Gabby like this!" Troy said.
"I'm sorry, Troy, but Gabriella is my daughter, and I can do to and with her what I wish! If you don't mind, I have John waiting for me to eat lunch." Mrs. Montez started to close the door.
"You know what! I do mind!! I'm not going to sit here and let you put your daughter, and the love of my life down like this!!" Troy was aggravated now. And it probably didn't help that Gabriella was sitting in the car right outside crying. Or that Mrs. Montez was trying to close him out.
"Excuse me? Do you really think I have time for this Troy? Because I don't… If there's something wrong with Gabriella, then Gabriella can come and talk to me herself, I don't need YOU being her spokesperson!" With that, she closed the door right in Troy's face. Troy huffed angrily back down to his car with Gabriella in it. She looked at him as he opened and closed…well, more like slammed…his car door.
"Troy?" Gabriella whispered to the mumbling Troy. Gabriella had no idea what he was saying, but knowing him he was probably bad mouthing her mother.
"TROY!" Gabriella shouted.
"Troy continued to mumble, only a little louder. Gabriella caught the words, 'stupid' a few times and she was almost sure she heard 'idiotic bitch' thrown in their somewhere.
"HEY! Troy that's my mom you're bad mouthing there…" Gabriella giggled slightly.
"Sorry…it's just…I can't believe she would say…never mind."
Gabriella leaned back against the chair. "Troy, I'm sorry she yelled at you, or whatever. I told you that when I was ready I would talk to her…"
"Brie…I don't understand…why doesn't she like me?" Troy seemed desperate to find out why.
Gabriella sighed deeply. "Well…she doesn't like you so much because…after I found out about her and John, I started acting differently. I don't know why, but I just was. I was upset, I was confused, I didn't understand… This happened right when we started dating, so mom thinks that the reason I changed so much was because I was influenced by you because of your being the jock, I'm-so-god-damn-full-of-myself type."
Troy made a face like he had just drunk milk. "The I'm-so-god-damn-full-of-myself type? Why the hell would she even consider me that type?" Troy asked.
Gabriella shifted uncomfortably in her seat next to Troy. "Well, you see…the thing is….I…kind of told you that…" Gabriella stuttered.
Troy pulled the car back in front of Sharpay's house. "You did what?!"
Gabriella pulled a frustrated face. "It was way before we started going out when you used to be so obnoxious to me!" she defended.
Troy rolled his eyes and got out of the car. Gabriella quickly got out and followed him. "Troy, wait!" she called.
"Yes?" he stopped and came back to her.
Gabriella wrapped her arms around his neck. "But what you did was really sweet, even if it didn't work. I love you." She slowly and passionately kissed him. After about 5 minutes of kissing against Troy's car, Gabriella pulled away and smiled at Troy. "I'm going to call her right now…"
Troy winked and her and led her inside of Sharpay's. Gabriella pulled out her phone and dialed the number that had been so familiar to her so long ago, and now felt foreign…like she'd never called it in her life.
"Hello?" a man's voice piped. Ugh! So now John was even answering the phone!!
"I want to speak to my mom," Gabriella stated, not even greeting the creep.
"MARIA! IT'S FOR YOU!" She heard John shout.
"Hello?" Her mother's voice said.
"I can't believe you would do that to Troy."
"Gabriella! Thank God you called, I thought you were hurt!" her mother sounded genuinely concerned. Not that Gabriella cared.
"Mom, don't. You know how much I love him! You can't tell me that what you said was for my good, because I'M the only one that can tell what's for my good! You can't blame my change of attitude on Troy, because it's nowhere NEAR his fault. It's all yours mom! It's always been your fault!" Gabriella was beginning to become worked up.
"Gabriella Marie, don't you dare tell me this is my fault! Why would this be my fault?"
"BECAUSE YOU'RE BETRAYING ME AND DADDY!"
Gabriella had finally said the words that had been on her chest since she found out about John.
"Gabr-" she started
"No, mom! When he passed on you always told me how much you missed him and how much you still loved him! So now is that just gone? Mom! I spent every freaking day in my room crying my eyes out when you started dating John! How could you be so blind as to not see that? I love you, okay mom? But I can't just sit at home and watch you and John be all happy when I miss dad so much." Gabriella hung up the phone.
To Gabriella, now it was almost as if she had to survive all on her own, without a responsible parent. The only things she had were Troy and Sharpay.
